Well, I bought this printer less than 12 months ago (Australian model) and guess what; no current osx support and no plans for future support.

Not happy at all. Here is a quote direct from the canon website.

"Macintosh vOS X
Canon?s Macintosh compatible USB peripherals are currently qualified for Macintosh Operating Systems 8.1 through 9.1.

Canon Digital Camera Plug- in module and application software for Macintosh is not compatible with Mac OS X. Support for OS X is currently under review.
For Macintosh

The Canon site now lists an OSX driver, but after what appears to be successful instal I get an error message at the end of the progress bar. I now see the usb printer, in the print center but is tells me no driver is installed. Subsequent attempts fail.

I have a BJC 2100 (I don't know what the SP is) and never had any problems printing from it in Jaguar. Unfortunately I never used it in X.1. My printer is old (purchased in 2000, and finally opened and taken out of teh box in January...never needed it before then). I have managed to pring several CD labels as well as resumes. I am running a REV A. iBook, OS X.2.5

Let me know if there is some way in which I mighht be able to assiste you.

Peace,

O
B unce!
